This local roaster has been commended for their commitment to quality sourcing, environmentally friendly practices, and onsite roasting at their new headquarters which is part roastery and part cafe . Read more
My favorites for mornings are the Green Hornet, Bull Frog, Bacon Biscuit , or any of their Quiches and of course the Fruit .
Great coffee and food options. Lots of space to sit, and even a parking lot for guests.
The pretzels with spicy mustard make for an awesome snack , but they go quickly.
I love the Ham & Rocket #9 sandwich . The coffee is pretty good too. They roast it right there.
Be careful standing up from the tables. I just saw a woman bonk her head on a light. Granted, she looked extremely hipster doing it, due to her kewl reaction, but still, tuck and roll, my babies.
Love their selection of teas and also their creamy chicken mushroom soup
Great mocha and the cucumber cream cheese is great on a nicely toasted bagel .
Try the espresso of the week. It costs the same as the regular stuff and it's always good.
There's a line outside of the door right now and good luck to get a place to sit. A bit too small of a space to be this busy
If you get the "Milwaukee's Best Brownie ," make sure you have someone to share it with! It's a brick of a brownie :)
Excellent and well-cared for coffee . Be prepared to wait extra long, they don't use more than one head on the espresso machine at a time.
Nicaragua coffee always the best. Iced dark chocolate mochas are amazing
Alterra opened its first café in 1993, and has since expanded to 12 locations serving its signature thick and creamy espresso .
Get the Iced Chai in the summer.. or any time.. and ask for it with a shot of vanilla !
Very kind workers, always make you feel comfortable !
Killer White Bean Soup , and the Alterra Organic Free Trade coffee is fantastic!
Amazing coffee and a good place to hang out. Try their raspberry muffins !
Check out the architecture . It's like a playground for grownups. Swings and all.
Almond croissants to die for....service, not so much...atmosphere makes up for that!
Ethiopian blend , brownies AND parking !? Believe it.
Bring a portfolio folder, and some old glossy technical flier, to make your own window blind to shield your screen from the glare.
Love the coffee but the mochas need more chocolate and the espresso tastes burnt.
It seems like the expresso shake is the most inconsistant drink they make here, never know how it'll turn out each time you order it.
Very beautiful place, great coffee !
Butter and touch-screens do not mix well . Please bagel responsibly. [via twitter @ebsewi]

Amazingly strong coffee , I'll never drink anything else!
The turkey club...enough said.

Relatively new to the neighborhood but it feels like it's been here forever. That says a lot. Read more
Their honey lattes are delish.
Great coffee .
Need a serious caffeine pick-me-up? Try the a double red-eye (two shots of espresso in strong coffee of the day). Read more
The baked oatmeal is Amazing!
Collectivo charges 6.1 % taxes. I thought wi taxes were 5.6 %
Use your punch card & get a free cup of coffee !
Great cup of java
Pumpkin cranberry muffins -- to DIE for!
Great place for detox drinks
Whole wheat chocolate chip cookies are heaven!
Free wi fi and great coffee make this my favorite Milwaukee coffee shop .
Chorizo Burrito is to die for!!!
Best Coffee and Atmosphere!
Try the coffee : p
Update: So yeah, that tip I left back in Sep 2012...? Right. I just hit my head on a lamp. Shame on me.
Check out the new brew bar .
Wolfgang is the man.
It's good coffee .

Right next to Boswell Bookstore and spacious enough to meet people for coffee. Great location too! - Stefani K
Locate the canned corn in under ten minutes; you'll have bested my time. - Robbie Burke
